Harry had sisters Lily and Edna (my mum). I think Harry was in Singapore during the invasion by Japan but got out, I guess some form of search of RAF records could help

RAF service records created since the beginning of the Second World War remain in the custody of the Ministry of Defence and are accessible only to the service personnel themselves or their next of kin. Consult GOV.UK to find out more.

I think if you send for them you will be disappointed as it is mostly transfer dates and very little else!
I sent for my grandfathers RAF records and learned nothing except where he was stationed etc.

Dear Members thank so much for your prompt and informative replies. "Solidrock 2" will you explain what the numbers are in your reply and Gibbo whats the significance of the London Gazette data

"The London Gazette is one of the official journals of record or Government gazettes of the British government, and the most important among such official journals in the United Kingdom, in which certain statutory notices are required to be published. "

Military promotions and special mentions to do with the military etc are usually in the gazette. Some wills and probate, insolvencies are also in there.
Below is the link for it if you would like to have a look and see what is actually printed in it.
